The cleaner receiving opening 11 is separate from and unconnected with the smoke passage '7,

the

and the interior of the bowl 8. This permits the pipe cleaner 14 to be carried or stored in the cleaner receiving opening 11 and allows of the usual smoking of the pipe, that is, the smoke will be confined entirely to the smoke passage '7, which is in no way connected with the cleaner receiving opening 11. The cleaner receiving opening 11 is of such length as to receive a pipe cleaner 14 sufiiciently long to extend from the tip 6 to the interior 8 of the bowl portion when it is inserted in the smoke passage, and thereby remove all obstructions throughout the entire length of the smoke passage.

From the foregoing it will be readily seen that we have perfected a pipe construction which'pe'rmits thecarrying of a pipe cleaner within the pipeystructure and, concealed from view.: The pipe cleaner. is easily and quickly removable Irom thecleaner opening, and ha'sa snug fit therein, which will prevent accidental displacement of the cleaner.

What is claimed is: n a V 1.; A mouthpiece for a pipe comprising a member shaped at thetip or outerrend thereof for reception into the mouth and at the inner end for attachment to the bowl section of a pipe,

xwhich mouthpiece has asmoke passageway extending therethrough from the inner end to the tip end, a cleanerreceiving opening spaced from the smoke passageway by a suitable partition,

to .i

integral stem and a detachable mouthpiece and provided with the usual smoke passageway extending from the interior of the bowl through the integral stem and through the mouthpiece and with a cleaner receiving opening spaced from but out of communication with the bowl receiving opening and said smoke passageway, which cleaner receiving opening is of length greater than that of the smoke passagewayas provided in said integral stem and said detachable mouthpiece,

said cleaner receiving opening having a closed end provided near the tip end of the mouthpiece,

said tip mouthpiece having a dummyopening or V passageway leading from the tip end thereof towards the cleaner receiving opening and arranged in substantial alignment with thecleaner receiving opening, said dummy passageway and the tip end of the smoke passageway being arranged so as to eiiect a symmetrical appearance at and for the extreme tip end of the mouthpiece.
